New York, U.S., Arriving Passenger and Crew Lists (including Castle Garden and Ellis Island), 1820-1957

Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The manifest image is readable and line 22 names 'Antonin Tauber', a 17-year-old single Bohemian male bound for Chicago. He travels with his sister Františka to join their brother Václav Tauber at 4717 Hermitage Ave. The record states the name, but the age of 17 in October 1909 points to birth about 1892, not 1887. Check the 1887 birth year, or confirm through other records (for example, Václav's household in Chicago) that this is the same Antonín.
Matches: Line 22 of List 9, S.S. Fürst Bismarck (sailed Hamburg 23 September 1909, arriving New York October 1909): 'Antonin Tauber', male, single; Race or people given as Bohemian, consistent with a Czech Antonín; Final destination Chicago, Ill.; Line 23 is Františka (marked 'sister'), age 20, travelling with him; Both are going to brother Václav Tauber, 4717 Hermitage Ave., Chicago, which ties the entry to a Tauber family group
Flags: Age is written as 17 in 1909, which implies birth about 1892. The claimed birth year of 1887 is five years earlier. Either the age or the birth year is wrong, or this is a different Antonín Tauber.
Limits: A passenger manifest gives age only, not a birth date; Last residence (column 10) is hard to read, possibly 'Mostiště' or similar, so it cannot firmly confirm a home village; Says nothing about the 1939 death date; The surname is handwritten and could be read as Tauber or Täuber; both are accepted variants
